Welcome to Land of Tricks

I have a friend who run google adsense for a long time. one day he add a list in  Adsense Competitive Ad Filter.

It was a test running for a long time and now he decided to stop. The reason is that his earnings from AdSense dropped considerably.

He manage a lot of websites and only two of them doesn’t use AdSense for monetizing; all the rest is monetized with AdSense. About three moons ago he have read on a blog which actually states that it’s managed by “AdSense Experts”, that filtering some ads (suggested by them), will boost the AdSense earnings.

One of the top level domains on the list was blogger.com, thus entering in the filter list blogger.com will block any advert which has as landing page specified any blogger sub domain. Basically he will potentially block hundreds of thousands of adverts coming from bloggers who advertise their website via AdWords. 

Back to His test. AdSense suggests to keep the competitive ad filter short as possible because it can ruin your earnings. He had 15 top level domains, some of them suggested by the so called experts, some of them from a website called AdsBlackList.com. He activated the list on 10th of August because it takes 2 days for the filter to be active. Now it’s 13th of October, that’s two months, and the list was cleaned yesterday.

He can’t tell what’s His daily earning with AdSense since it’s prohibited by Google, but He have high CTR mostly because all the pages are optimized for adsensea and they are blended in the page. The high CTR gives me some cool earnings every day.

As soon as the list was activated, His earnings started to drop. Slightly going down every day until He reached a level with about 10% lower than the usual. He thought that this is just because He got different type of visitors who don’t seem to like clicking ads. Then the days passed and the earnings were still low.

Until today: He decided to end His test and cleaned the competitive ad filter list. He don’t filter anything now and today His earnings got better, slightly moving upwards.

Just a coincidence? What do you think? Go on or stop it?

Do you know why many of times you get just 1-10 cents for the clicks on your blog?

One of the main reason is because your ad boxes are showing MFA(Made For Adsense) ads. These MFA sites have lots of crappy content or in some cases no content at all, yes seriously.

Any content if present would be describing an affiliate program or product with lots of excerpts of interviews and recommendations from their so called users who have benefited after using their products. Or in some cases you would only see a search box , 3 blocks of Google ads, 3 text link adswith welcome to my site logo in the middle.

 
Now what can you do in such sitution so that ads don’t appearn on your blog?

The answer would be using ‘Cometitive Ad Filter’ feature of Google Adsense and banning such sites which pay less from your site/blog.

Now how to get the list of such sites which pays penny from their account?

For this I would suggest a great site which gives out a list of MFA sites which you can paste directly into your Ad Filter.It’s name is AdsBlacklist.

So what is it actually?

Well, AdsBlackList is one of the unique project designed to enable you to dramatically reduce the amount of MFA (made for ads) and LCPC (low cost per click) sites which appear through the use of PPC systems such as Google Adsense™, Yahoo Publisher Network™ and Chitika eMiniMalls™.

“Wow that’s great you can also use it on Yahoo and Chitika if you are a member of it.”

How to use it?

1. To use Adsblacklist; just get registered there; Go to My Account; Click on Add New Domain and enter your domain details.
2. One’s the submission of your domain is done; Go to Generate Filter List; Drag any domain which you have added from the list in empty Box at he right side.
3. Tick on MFA and LCPC and click on Submit.
4. You will get the list which you just have to paste into your Competitive ad filter.

In google; you can just add 200 such sites in the ads filter which is their maximum limit which I think they should really increase it looking at the number of MFA sites on the web.I think by using the Competitive Ad Filter to block out the major MFA Arbitragers, you should see a very nice increase in your Google  adsense earnings.

Google adsense or also known as Adsense becomes popular nowadays. I am seeing lots of site with some ad serving program. And I also read lots of article proving that a webmaster can really earn when you put adsense on a site or blog. They even forget the eBay and other affiliate programs.

Google Adsense becoming one of the most popular method of placing advertisements in different sites. Putting adsense on your site is very easy. Just copy and paste the codes on your site and then wait for a couple of minutes and then you will see the advertisement. Even a full time mom can do it.

Putting adsense on your site is not enough for you to be able to earn hundreds of dollars. You also need to know the different tricks to earn in no time.

Here are the top 10 tricks that I found from the different Adsense gurus who are sharing their knowledge on how they earn cash through adsense.

1. The color of your ads is one of the trick that you should learn. Make sure that your ads color is the same as your web site palette. Instead of using frames choose the same color as your page background for the ad frame and for the ad background.

2. Avoid using those horizontal banner or leaderboard ads. Because Adsense gurus said that people are blind to those kinds of ads.

3. You can use the Google Heat map for you to know where is the best place to put the adsense on a site. Google has its own Adsense optimization tips for that.

4. Competitive keywords can trigger Adsense ads on a page. You can use a keyword research tool for you to be able to grab the most popular keywords. The more popular your keyword is the higher the adwords advertisers are willing to pay per click for it.

5. Create an ads that looks like your page.

6. Google’s link ad unit seem to have a much higher CTR or Click-Through Rate. There are different ad formats that you can use.

7. You can add some images next to your ads. Those images can draw images to your ads.

8. You can add 3 Adsense ads and 1 link unit on your page ot 1 adsense referral button plus 3 other unit. Make sure that you place those ads to the right place that for your ads not to distract the readers.

9. Focus on a particular niche. Your content that focuses on a particular niche can trigger Adwords ads that closely match the content. This will make your visitor be more interested to click on your ads.

10. Use custom Ad Channels for each of your ad placements, for example, “Top 5 Link Unit Blue Palette” or “Left Side Navigation Image Skyscraper” etc. Tweak, track and measure the success of each of these custom channels so you know what gives you the highest CTR. Some ad formats and colors will work better than others, but you won’t know which until you test, test and test some more!
